So many little background details in this episode. Like when I watched the episode I didn't notice how the Starros detach from their hosts when getting in the escape pod. I am worried about the Joker going evil again and possibly Harley too?

Starro has been making a lot of little appearances the last couple of episodes, I wonder if it's going to end up playing a larger part or they just think it's fun to have the big alien starfish schlorping about (which it is!)

Harley sleepwalking and breaking stuff DaveKap posted:Another great episode. Not enough shows just have the main characters winning. It's so feel-good. Too many terrible formulaic TV shows left me expecting, somewhere in the back of my mind, that the climax of this episode would be "Ivy talked too much, now she can't give the address, and so she learns a valuable lesson about something or other". Luckily, they instead chose the superior path of "Ivy refused to take Luthor's poo poo and hustled her rear end off, making him look like an chump for not realising how awesome she is".

I feel like this version of Batman is such a fuckup it'd be pretty tonally different. Jarro would be teaching him to be a better Batman.

I watched the first 3 episodes of Harley Quinn and man start about a strong start. Dollman is a pretty deep cut. I had no idea he was a DC character now. Was he a Fawcett comics charater? Oh well, he's dead now. Also Snowflame, SNOWFLAME, breakout character of these episodes. Good thing this is an 18+ series so he can actually be shown doing fat rails constantly.

They've been part of the DCU on and off for a while now. I thought it was odd they killed him off, since the latest version of him is/was in Grant Morrison's Multiversity maxi-series, where he is a Jehovah's Witness and the rest of the team are members of groups that were also persecuted by the Nazis.

Yeah, but a) Ragman doesn't have quite the same symmetry as the other two titles have with their use of "doll", and b) "Manrag" is a funnier name.

So Supergirl is working as a optometrist? Is that a comics thing? I guess, she's proficient in eye lasers.

"Does lube freeze?" (in unison) "If it's water-based." cant cook creole bream posted:So Supergirl is working as a optometrist? Is that a comics thing? I guess, she's proficient in eye lasers. I think making Supergirl an optometrist was just a way to write her into the plot this episode, in an innocuous-seeming way. This is one of those episodes of TV where the last few seconds make everything that just happened take on a new significance. There are a lot of misdirects and red herrings, like Harley's sleepwalking or the guy with the parrot saying he'll kill Nightwing, but I think these are the crucial facts. (In a separate spoiler block, for anyone who wants to solve the mystery on their own.) 1. Supergirl mentioned that Nora critiqued her appearance, even though they specifically weren't video chatting. 2. Jim Gordon found a blonde hair in the cloning machine. 3. Ivy's mentees say they found a way to make their plan even more destructive than it already was. Later, they try to tell her that things went disastrously wrong, but Ivy is too distracted to listen. 4. The main focus of everyone's attention this episode is a statue, with which people are inexplicably obsessed. A Galatea, if you will. Coincidentally, Galatea was the name of Supergirl's clone in the DCAU, created as a covert, unstoppable killer. 5. Nightwing was investigating something solo at the studio where Tawney's show was happening, and apparently "found all the evidence he needed". The next time we seem him, he's dead. (Or at least brutally mangled and unconscious. But probably dead.) To sum it up: Ivy's mentees cloned Supergirl to take their scheme to the next level. Nightwing was investigating them, heard someone mention "Galatea" and came to the conclusion, 60s Batman-style, that this meant the statue was a key part of the scheme. He went in alone, confident that he could take three inexperienced villains trying to impress and hype up their mentor by adding a spectacle of lava, sharks and earthquakes to go along with her statue reveal. Instead, he ran into an evil Kryptonian and got murdered. The kids panicked and told Galatea to take care of it. Galatea decided to frame Harley - Galatea probably didn't know about the sleepwalking or Dick being a dick to her, but Harley was still the obvious target as a reformed villain who'd just joined the Batfamily. So she puts the friendship bracelet on Dick's wrist, uses her super-senses to find Harley, and puts the corpse in the tree right above her. The rest of the season is probably going to be dealing with fallout from all this. Otherkinsey Scale fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Aug 10, 2023 |

I was "wtf is the title of this episode" about, and welp, lol. Bab's roomates reaction to like, everything, the best. And Ivy's observation of the PR guys shoes, like I loving hate those brown shoes that all well off young guys wear these days, at least they didn't pair them with tight fitting pants. I don't care how expensive they are, they're ugly as sin.

I'd like to mention that when the parrot escaped from Tawny's show, the handler said he was going to kill whoever left the door open. It was Nightwing.

What did you spot in the League of Loises' weapons closet? I saw Lemarchand's box, a Goldeneye proxy mine, Resident Evil rocket launcher, a Columbia skyhook, Card captor Sakura's staff, mjolnir, Siegfried's sword from Soul Calibur, a phantasm orb, Hades's spear, the wabbajack, and the Clock Tower shears.

So who were those Supermen? The one with just a blacked out symbol... was that meant to be Red Son Superman? I think the one using ice breath might have been the Batman Beyond one who was being controlled by Starro, and the brief split second shot of one near the end might have been Justice Lord Superman? And I have zero idea about the one with a scar over his eye.

SonOfGhostDad posted:I can't place the red pistol or the square rifle on the top. Don't leave me hanging! This is the cheat sheet I gave the colorist: https://i.imgur.com/C0lwnJQ.jpg Some aren't references for plausible deniability. I intentionally changed a few details on others since I was worried they might be too familiar. The ones kept true to form were intended to be obscured through a B palette, which... whoops. The second blocky sword is also a Disgaea reference- Yoshitsuna. I spent many, many hours in item world getting the legendary version of it back in the day. I think the Supes are Overman, Justice Lord, and Superboy Prime? I think? I remember them in the design meeting, but I don't quite remember the deets. I'll ask Jake.
